Liquiphant FTL51B

Level Switch · Automation & Control

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified
View photo ↗

The Liquiphant FTL51B is specialized for the process industry and developed to be used directly in SIL2 and SIL3 applications. You conduct periodic proof tests according to SIL or WHG mobile with an intuitive wizard. At the end you receive an automated documentation. Liquiphant measures reliably and is not affected by changing media properties, flow, turbulences, gas bubbles, foam, vibrations or build-up. The device is easy to use, has a digital connection and gives real-time data at hand.

Free of charge — send us your request for Endress+Hauser equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
